本文将对家庭消费的研究与对废物政策和治理的研究联系起来。我们认为，为了满足2007年英国废物战略中规定的废物减少的增强目标，英国城市废物政策需要更密切地参与家庭，消费的主要单位。打开家庭的“黑匣子”，我们展示了为什么在某些社区，通过回收利用提高材料转移率的潜力是有限的。我们展示了通过强化现有实践与“艺术的短暂性”，并通过与家庭废物产生的块状参与进一步减少废物的潜力。本文认为，这些研究结果的政策影响，并提供了一些建议，如何这样的见解可能会采取在英国城市废物政策。
This paper connects research on home-based consumption with research on waste policy and governance. We argue that, in order to meet the enhanced goals of waste reduction specified in Waste Strategy for England 2007, UK municipal waste policy needs a far closer engagement with the household, the primary unit of consumption. Opening-up the 'black box' of the household, we show why the potential for achieving enhanced rates of materials diversion through recycling is limited in certain neighbourhoods. We demonstrate the potential for furthering waste reduction through the intensification of existing practices with the 'arts of transience, and by engaging with the lumpiness of household-waste generation. The paper considers the policy implications of these findings and offers a number of suggestions as to how such insights might be taken up within UK municipal waste policy.
